that clause is so woried as not to specify
any particular tribe. 1t simply makes it
lawful for the allotment when, lin the
opinion of the president, it shall be for the
best interests of said tribe" Thus it will
be seen that the interests of the tribe are first
to be considered. If the president shall
look first towards the great tribe which is
lying in ideness west of the Missouri river,
and shall consider il to be for the best inter-
eStS of that tribe to cause immediate action
by the secretary OF the interior, then there
will be early action in the matter. But it
will be remembered that after the work
shall be done the whole matter must be
RATIFIED BY CONGRESS-.
There would probably be no objection on
the part of congress to the ratification
of such executive action; but there would
be the necessary delay waiting for the ses-
sion and dilatory proceedings of that legis-
lative body. Therefore, it will be utterly
useless for the people to anticipate any
early opening of the Sioux reservation.
The severalty bill would, in time. cause the
opening OF the Sioux reservation whenever
the president should see fit to cause action
to be taken in that direction. But it may
be laid down as matter of fact that the
only true way for the opening of that coun-
try is to secure the passage of specific
act. such as the Dawes bill, which was
throttled and deliberately sandbagged by
Holman, of Indiana, on the night of March
3, 1887. Such bill can be introduced by
Peel, of Arkansas, in the house, and
Dawes, of Massachusetts,. in the senate, at
the commencement of the next session. and
simultaneously. By the proper action Of
those gentlemen the bill could be passed not
later than the first of next February, and
become law, That would end the whole
matter

SIOUX FALLS SCREEDS.
"A Child Dies as the Result of a Dog
Rite.
Special to the Globe.


SIOUX FALLS, April 1.-Corson Bros, pro-
prietors Of the Cataract house, yesterday
began large addition to their splendid hotel
The addition will cost about $1,000 and will
be built as a wing to the present building.
Thi; improvement is made necessary TO ac-
commodate the increasing patronage of the
house. A young son of A. G. Seney was
frigbtfully bitten by large Newfoundland
dog on Thursday. The little fellows cheek
was torn from his eye to his lower jaw.
Both of his lips were torn entirely open. The
boy died to-day. Charles E. Price, one of
the solid Democrats of Hyde county and one
of the compilerS of the territorial laws, has
been in the city all week at work upon the
laws. He states that the laws have not been
compiled since 1877. The work is now being
pushed along rapidly. Roger w. Cooley and
bride returned from Savannah. Ca, on
Thursday. Mr.. Cooley is one of the promising
young men OF the City, and many friends
welcome him back with many congratulations.
mot a little excitement has been caused by
the presence at Palisade Of corps of fifteen
Northwestern surveyors. 1t is thought that
their purpose is to survey road from Gen.
teryile to Pipestone. there to connect with
the Black Hills line of the Northwestern
Some have thought it is the purpose
of the Northwestern to bluff the

little credence is given to this theory. The
city election will take place next Tuesday.
There are four vacancies in the city council
and fourteen candidates for the places The
struggle is a good natured one and but little
interest is excited over the result. John T.
Norton is the only candidate as yet for mayor.

The action of Dakota legislature in caus-
ing the veXed subject of division to be So b.
mitted to the people will probably remove the
last vestige of opposition 10 the admission of

friends have been met with the unanswer-
able objection that TO divide and admit one
portion of the territory would be arbitrary.
OF course to many senators and representa-
tives that objection was of no particular
moment but it was logically unanswerable.
The best endeavors were made by Senator
Harrison and others to recognize the seem
ingly unquestioned will of the people by the
recognition of the senators who presented
their credentials to the senate, as well as by
such statements and arguments as could be
brought to bear. But the fact remained that
there was no regularly expressed will of the
people which could be considered in every

Not the Only Blind Critic.
Detroit Tribune.


Detroit boasts of blind art connoisseur
named Coyl who is also a good patron of
art. Whenever and wherever there are
good paintings to be seen he can always be
found. Meeting him at one of the galleries
a few days ago, a Tribune reporter found
him seated in front of small Hart, which
had just been received. and at which he was
looking intently, seeming to enjoy it with
the rest of the company.
Here's a new Hart" said he, as the re-
porter advanced to shake hands. Good.
isn't it? He paints stronger than he did.
Don't you think 500"

Neither were they. for they were bright

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Five crack mi

been completed IL is expected that these
companies will bring mlShy of their friends

concerning the coming drill, Whey do not
exaggerate the facts. The Preparations
which have been made and are being per-
fected by the committee in charge of the al
fair are extensive and as nearly perfect as
they can De made. The Dakota militia
will probably participate in the Decoration
day ceremonies at Arlington, but the gentry
from the Eastern cities will probably not
do so. Owing to the great economy and
everlasting dilatorineSS Of congress there
are no appropriations Immediately available
for the reconstruction OF the aQueduct
bridge from Georgetown to Arlington.
Consequently the sold;e rs who go to Airing
ton to decorate the %, 600 graves there will
be obliged to march down the long bridge,
two miles from the drill grounds, then
cross that miIe-long structure, march two
miles I'D on the Virginia shore, cast flowers
upon the graves, listen to oratiCnS and then
march back again. 1t is a long journey
and those who undertake it Will be the

TIE sEvEsALTY LAW.
1t Does Not Direct Action on ANY
Particular Renovation.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April Numerous in
uuiries are received by residents OF this city
and by the Indian Office of the interior de-
partment, concerning the law granting
lands in severalty to the Indians. The i'm
preston exists, judging from the tone of
the letters received, that the bill in question
will operate to the benefit of the people of
Dakota by causing the opening of the Sioux
Indian reservation, Notwithstanding the
fact that the other bill, which was intended
for that purpose, failed of passage. The
first and general reply to all inquiries upon
the subject must be that the seyeralty law
does not contain any clause which may be
interpreted as directing any action concern
ing The Indians of any particular reServa-
tiCn, and hence no action concerning the
Sioux is specified. Yet there is a clause in
the severalty law which may inure to the
benefit of the people ON either side of the
reservation. 1t is in the power of the
president to direct the secretary Of the in
terror to negotiate with that Indian tribe
for the

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The coming Oh
Gov. Church to Washington is said to De
uosltiyelv of no significance polltically.
That is the stereotyped report concerning
all prominent individuals when they move
from one portion of the country TO another.
Ordinarily there is truth III it. The East
ern trip of the governor was partly, pos
sblv mainly. for rest and recreation. HIS
coming TO Washington cannot be entirety
so construed. The executive head OF a
great territory does not visit the chlet
magistrate for mere wantonnesS, no matter
how close their personal relations.
Whether it might be regarded as official or
not. he must naturally, most naturally,
state TO the president those things which
are upnernOst i'll his mind concerning the
people and the province over when he
rules. No topic of conversation would
more naturally be chosen. no subject so
fresh and interesting to both of the dis
tinguished gentlemen. The one to tell
freely and frankly what are his plans

Consequently the visit of the governor of

friendly or OF an official nature. VIII be ap-
parent to all hereafter. President Cleve-
land has habit of directing affairs OF state
more minutely than have his immaculate
predecessors in that high office; ana hence
it may be inferred that the policy OF GOV.
Church. as it unfods itself, is the policy OF
the national administration. They who
dissent from it. and object to it. and de-
claim against il, would wisely remember
the words OF prominent Republican ed
itor. when he said publicly to Ar. Conk-
ling: You are a great leader, great
senator, man of power. But 1t mas peeh
discovered by Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. " ebster
and Mr., Clay that president is greater
than a senator, a score of senators, whole
congress; and lie will always triumph. ="
They who are in private life. and nave no
other solace in discomfort than talking and
presenting views" might sagely heed
those words OF wisdom.

The Election at Huron Certain to be

u
FUN OF Interest.
Special to the lobe.
HURON, Oak, April 1.-Great interest is
being taken in the city election, which oc-
ours Oh Tuesday of next week. The con-
test is not between political parties-in fact,
notifies is not known in this canvass. There
are two tickets in the field; one known as
the Law and Order" ticket and the other
the City ticket The name of H. j.
Rice heads both tickets for mayor. On the
law and order ticket. aside from aldermen,
are Alva E. Taylor for city clerk, E. NJ.
Thomas for police justice, E. IL. Grant for
treasurer and S. ". Roberts for assessor.
A pretty healthy ''kck'' was made when
this ticket was given to the public on
the ground that the meeting at which it was
named was held in secret and was the out
growth Of ''still hunt" The meeting,
however, was made up Of representative
men and taxpayers of the city. and the
ticket was named only after very thor
ough canvass by which the sentiment of
the people was ascertained. There is no
word of complaint against the gentlemen
whose names appear-they are good, moral
and upright citizens, who have the interests
of the city at heart, and, should they be
elected. will look well to the affairs of our
city and give us righteous and economical
administration. The whole ticket is
conceded to be for temperance.
The city ticket is composed of o. p. Helm
for treasurer, }. Z. Elson for police justice.
E. H. Aplin for clerk and W. B. Crouk for
assessor. All are popular fellows and have
hosts of friends. who do not propose to see
them sacrificed at the ballot bOX-n they can
help it. Elson is one of the pioneers of the
city and has held the Office of police justice
since the town has been Incorporated. He
has a good show of being his own successor.
Crouk. Helm and Aplin are young men and
aspire to official positions with the hope of
some day becoming great-a legitimate
and laudable undertaking. 1t is
not probable, however. that the
ambition of all will be gratifed
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-04-02

for there are one or two indifferent candl-
dates in the field who will give the nomi-
nees on both tickets pretty close tussel
for clerk and treasurer. The aldermen on
both tickets are pulling" for their contest
over-a seat in the city council-wth
chances pretty evenly divided among them.
1t would not be safe to bank on the proba-
BILE result. The temperance people are
busy and doing everything possible for the
success OF the law and order ticket. Pub
lie meetings have been held all the week,
and they will be at the polls to labor with
the voters in the interests of their ticket.
Indeed the indications point to the liveliest
city election next Tuesday known in HUI
